Today, we remember the courage and sacrifice of #Boston police Sgt. Dennis Simmonds. On this day 7 years ago, Simmonds died of a medical emergency that stemmed from the injuries he suffered while responding to the 2013 shootout with the Boston Marathon bombers in Watertown. #RIP

Penguins on a date is what we all need right now.
The adventure continues! 🐧🐧 This morning, Edward and Annie explored Shedd’s rotunda. They are a bonded pair of rockhopper penguins, which means they are together for nesting season. Springtime is nesting season for penguins at Shedd, and this year is no different! (1/3) 👇

What’s past is past, nothing can change that. But the future can be different if we choose to make it so. We have to cultivate a vision of a happier, more peaceful future and make the effort now to bring it about. This is no time for complacency, hope lies in the action we take.
